Wonderful Valet and Staff
Pros:

Stayed at Proper to ring in the new year with family. Hotel was excellent. Staff was all very kind and professional. The most wonderful valet staff imaginable in Dwayne and Kendra, who were warm and friendly with our children and made you feel like you were truly home away from home. Highly recommend.

Great Austin Hotel Choice For Cool Stay
Pros:

My teen daughter and I had weekend trip to the hotel and had a wonderful stay. The hotel is a great city hotel - beautifully designed with really comfortable, decently sized rooms and in a good location.

Warm reception, strong service through and through - front desk, bars, restaurants (we ate at both), valet. There is quite a scene in lobby bars which I had no problem with - it was a cool scene and I didn't hang out there but so folks know. Mexican and Med restaurants served great food.

The weather was too cold to use the pool and the hotel is missing a hot tub. Fitness facility is solid.

Nice coffee station in morning next to front desk (had a good drink in same room night before which was far more quiet than main lobby bar).

Front of hotel was a serious wind tunnel and I asked if it was normal to be blown away entering and exiting the hotel or just weekend we were there and I was told it was pretty normal! No big deal but just FYI - hold on to your hats!

Great hotel with fabulous service and a top-notch gym
Pros:

I stayed at the Austin Proper for one night in December 2025, for a work trip. It is a FABULOUS hotel. I loved the room (a very comfortable bed; actually adequate lighting, unlike most hotels these days; and a nice sense of style). The service was top notch (shout-out to Evie in the room with free coffee in the morning!). And the gym was one of the best I've seen in a hotel (not only 4 Pelotons and a lot of treadmills, but a real stair climber; lots of free weights and weigh equipment; and a Tonal). I will definitely stay there again when I'm in Austin.

Outstanding Service, Thanks to Giulio
Pros:

Giulio is an absolute standout at the Austin Proper. From the moment we arrive, he makes everyone feel welcomed, comfortable, and genuinely taken care of. He has a rare mix of professionalism and warmth that makes the experience feel effortless—and fun.

The entire Proper staff is wonderful, but Giulio has a way of quietly going the extra mile. He’s incredibly kind, attentive without ever being overbearing, and always seems to anticipate what we need before we ask. Whether I am there for a meeting, happy hour, or a night out, he consistently makes sure everything runs smoothly.

Because of him (and the amazing team around him), the Proper has become our go-to spot. It’s the kind of place where you know you’re in good hands, and Giulio is a big reason why. A true professional and a genuine pleasure to be around.

Austin Proper - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Pros:

I stayed at the Austin Proper for roughly a week while visiting family. Hotel is kept in pristine condition, well-located and unique. Plenty of great dining options on-property. I also just experienced (Dec 2025) their new Omakase restaurant - Kappo Kappo; a must-try for sure.

Chloe at the front desk was very helpful with all my needs, including the initial reservation. The entire front desk staff is always eager to help. Evie in the coffee lounge in the AM very kind, helpful, and always makes everyone feel welcomed.

I would not hesitate to stay again and highly recommend this property.

Perfection
Pros:

I love this hotel! It is stunningly beautiful. The staff is friendly & efficient. The room itself is handsomely decorated and comfortable. Great water pressure in the shower. But it is the public space that shines. Visually appealing & the type of space you want to relax in while enjoying a tequila or meal in the beautiful dining room. Special shoutout to Peacock breakfast. Best Greek omelette I've ever tasted.
Only criticism I have was the lighting at dinner was so dim we could barely see our meals. Thank you for the enjoyable stay.
